SOUTHERN FARM AND HOME.
OlmervinK Crop*.
By watching hia crops growing, a farm
er can learn much, ami ascertain, too,
what is wanting in his soil, and thus
bring about a general improvement of
his lands. A watchful, practical farmer
will see that with a good sun exposure,
his crops have a pale, green look, and he
will at once know that his soil is deficient
in nitrogen; if the straw is soft and too
weak, he will know that his soil is defi
cient in available potash; if he has a
good growth of straw, and a light yield
of grain, he will find that by the applica
tion of phosphates the yield of grain
will be largely increased, though while
growing his crop may not appear to be
benefitted.
Nitrogen.
All farmers should know the impor
tance of the element called nitrogen, and
when they do not have commercial ma
nures which contain it, they should study
the modes of procuring it. Shading
lands and letting it rest, benefits it.
Shade accumulates nitrogen, and rest
assists in alisorbing ammonia from the
atmostphere, as well as the nitric acid
brought down by electric showers from
the clouds. An application of plaster
of Paris causes plants to grow larger, and
thus accumulate more nitrogen from the
atmosphere. When green crops are plow
ed under, they show their fertilizing
effect more plainly than when dry, be
cause they rot faster; the consequence
is the hydrogen contained therein are set
free more rapidly, and coming in contact
with the nitrogen of the atmosphere,
combines with it to produce ammonia.
Among the ways in which lime benefits
land—one, is the lime alisorbs and re
tains the nitric acid of the atmosphere,
and causes the more rapid decomposition
of the vegetable matter contained in the
and, thus forming ammonia.
(Feeding <»<•!*.
Georgia farmers do not raise enough of
corn. Yet corn forfeeding stock is not
all that is needed; other things are neces
sary to constitute food containing
growth-producing elements. Corn fed
to farm animals gives heat and fat, yet
oats, clover, peas or some nitrogenequs
food is necessary to make, bone and mus
cle. Colts and calves require a food that
will produce, or rather promote, growth.
Oats are the best food for them, perhaps
next to them corn with bran. Bran con
tains the phosphates which help form
bone. The hog cholera commission im
puted the prevalence of disease in swine
to a want of proper variety of food.
Georgia farmers should give more atten
tion to the matter of variety of food for
health, growth, comfort and profit.
Cattle, but especially hogs, should be
supplied with plenty of potash. It is a
necessary clement of growth, and it can
lie cheaply supplied in the form of wood
ashes.
Commercial Fertilisers.
Commercial fertilizers are excellent for
starting vegetation, but it requires vege
tation to perpetuate vegetation. No
specific directions can bo given of gener
al application of special fertilizers for
the purpose of rendering barren soils fer
tile, as these soils vary. 'There is but
one general rule that can be laid down,
and that is deal with the soil liberally
and justly. If much is expected from
land, much must be given to it.
The Farm.
’The most profitable farming is the
liest farming, and those who are en
gaged in this business should make every
effort to learn what constitutes the best
farming. No farmer can prosper who
impoverishes his soil, and he should
maintain the fertility of his land. The
farmer should love liis home; to do this
he should improve it by planting orch
ards, erecting good buildingsand fences,
setout shade trees, and do all he can to
beautify and adorn his home. He should
have good cattle, good hogs, good mules
and sheep, and take care of them all.
He should take books and papers and
see to it that the members of his family
become intelligent members of society.
Poultry Items.
Never breed from sickly or weak con
stitutioned fowls, as your chickens will
be worthless and also bring disease.
Chickens with canker or roup will
communicate the disease to all the rest
of the flock if allowed to use the same
drinking vessel.
Cayenne pepper, ginger or mustard for
fowls is quite beneficial. When added
to their food it will stimulate egg pro
duction, increase their vigor and make
them feel well generally.
Young and quickly' fed fowls have
more water and fat in' their flesh, while
older and well fed fowls have flesh of a
firmer touch and a richer flavor, and are
richer in nitrogen. The former may ls>
more delicate; the latter will be more
nutritious.
When soft eggs arc laid by fowls they
intimate usually that the egg organs are
inflamed. This state is occasioned by the
birds Wing overfed or too fat. Spare
diet and plenty of green food, especially
lettuce leaves in summer, or cabbage in
winter is the best treatment of fowls in
such condition.
AiiBHTLTI RAI. NOTES.
Even the oyster crop in America for
1879 is larger than ever before.
A farmer cannot work his farm safely
without knowing all about his soil.
Carrots contain a very high propor
tion, ten per cent., of fat-forming ma
terials.
The crop of castor beans raised in
Kansas this year, is estimated at 10,000,-
000 bushels.
A liberal eoat of whitewash will pro
tect the bodies of fruit trees from slid
den changes.
Wheat planted from a fourth to half
an inch deep comes up sooner than at
any other depth.
Indiana claims to be the banner wheat
raising state this year. The crop there
is placet! at 55,000,000 bushels.
A strong decoction of peach tree leaves
is reported to lie a specific for chicken
cholera. Dose, one-half teaspoonful.
During the year 1878 340,000,<H*0
pounds of cheese were produced in this
country and 960,000,00** ]>ounds of but-
The application of muscle directed
with brains will cause the fields to blos
som and bloom, and flocks and herds to
prosper.
Warmth and cleanliness, together with
varied and judicious feeding are essen
tial in securing a good supply of eggs
from the poultry on the farm.
A farmer can not work his farm safely
without knowing all about his soil.
Every field should lie studied as to the
effects of certain matters with fertilizers
upon it.
About $20,000,000 will lie made this
year by southern planters by the rise in
crops.
Pear blight in several instances has
been arrested in affected trees by syring
ing them with a weak solution of potash,
and it has proven a preventive when ap
plied to the healthy trees.
It is now predicted that within five
years the United States will be able to
produce all the sugar it needs, and that
in ten years we will be exporting more
sugar than we are importing.
Progressive agriculture demands greater
faith in the possibilities of husbandry
and a determination that each year shall
show' some advance, some improvement
over the labors and results of its prede
cessor.
It is said that never in the history of
this country was there so much winter
wheat sown as this fall, nor ever was it
looking better, if as well. Many farmers
are feeding it down with sheep, calves
and cows.
While there are many cows that will
not pay for their keeping, for the sim
ple reason that “they have not it in
them,” there a great many that do not
pay, but which would pay if they were
properly taken care of.
Make a shallow basin in the, ground
not far from the kitchen, and fill with
coal ashes as it is made, and on this throw
light slops, wash water, etc. An im
mense amount of the very best of fertil
izers can lie made in this way.
Those farmers who read live agricul
tural papers are constantly raising their
standard of farming, getting into the
best breed of stock, and are. gradually
having their farms thoroughly furnished
with the best animals of all classes.
The corn crop of the United States, this
year, according to the last report of the
national agricultural department, ex
ceeds that of 1878 by 150,000,000. In
the states and territories west of the
Mississippi river the increase is over 100,-
000,000.
The farmer should have improved ma
chinery, learn the science of agricultural
chemistry, the proper rotation of crops,
the artof recuperating depleted lands; in
fact, should keep up with the times
studying the science that underlies the
art of farming.
Mr. Young the great corn-grower of
Kentucky, who grows 190 bushels to
the acre, puts a field in corn two succes
sive years, then seeds it down and let it
remain in corn. All through his farm
ing he has never deviated from this
course. The corn is planted in hills,
and never more than four stalks are al
lowed to remain in each hill.
Soils vary in their powers of alisorbing
manurird substances. Porous soils act
more powerfully in this respect than very
stiff', retentive clays: although Prof.
Voelckcr has ascertained that there is
not very much difference between the
nbsorbtive powers of a sandy soil as com
pared with a calcareous or clay one;
while the general results of experiments
prove that sandy soils are not equal to
loamy soils as absorbents of manures.
But. a soil has not an unlimited capacity
for absorbing manurial substances. If a
solution of ammonia-phosphate, says
Prof. Cameron, be passed for some time
through a weighed quantity of soil, it
w ill after a certain time pass through
unchanged, If, however, one pint of
solution of ammonia-phosphate befilter
ed through a portion of the soil, the am
monia and phosphoric acid retained by
the latter will not even, except in very
small pail, be removed by filtering
through the soil a pint of pure water.
This shows that the soil has a greater
power of removing ammonia from solu
tion than water has of removing ammo
nia from the soil.
A Secret of Bonaparte’s Life.
The “Memoirs de Madame Remusat,”
lady-in-waiting to the Empress Jose
phine, now being published by her grand
son in the Jtyvne Deux Monde*.
throw fresh light on Napoleon’s wedded
life. Under date of 1804, Josephine be
ing then forty-one years of age, they
contain the subjoined extraordinary epi
sode: “The Emperor, having tempo
rarily abandoned the divorce suit, but
still anxious for an heir, asked his wife
one day whether she would agree to ac
cept one, and to feign pregnancy cleverly
enough to deceive everybody. She was
far from refusing any of his fancies in
this respect. Bonaparte then sent for
his chief physician, Corvisart, in whom
he deservedly placed unlimited confi
dence, and confined his project to him.
‘lf I succeed,’ he said, ‘in securing the
birth of a boy who will be my own son,
I wish you to be witness of the pretended
confinement of the Empress, and to do
all that is necessary to give this ruse all
the appearance of a reality.’ Corvisart
considered the delicacy of his probity
compromised by this proposal; he prom
ised inviolable secrecy, nut refused to
do what was required of him. Only
long after, and since Bonaparte’s second
marriage, he confided this anecdote to
nie on testifying to me the legitimate
birth of the king of Rome, as to whom
altogether unwarranted doubts had been
raised."
The “Nn Orthografy.”
M hen we adopt the new style of
orthography, items will appear like this
example, taken from the Whitehall
'Junes: “ The nu style of orthografy is
attracting attenshun'just now. Filosofers
and students of metafisic are trying to
rite so as to give the words the eggsakt
sound of the letters. The very atmosfere
proklaims that the nu style must triumf.
Whether it is safe to cokett with the
English prontnisiashun of words and I
fotograf sound by letters, the scribes and
falrisces of the lilanthrupieal and grafic ’
world will decide. The fonografer of
the future will Im? a fenomenon to the
paragrafer of the past.”
Woman’s Tribute to Man.
The following scintillations on man
from the pens of some of our ablest lit
erary women will be read with interest:
I know a man who can write gentle,
gossiping letters like women. He is
straight-minded and tender-hearted,
with immense energy and great gooa
spirits. He smokes pipes, goes out shoot
ing, plays billards and cricket, is charm
ing with all the grumbling old men and
women. He enjoy life and all its good
things with a grateful temper, and;
makes most people happy about nim. He
belongs to the school of athletic Christi
anity.—Anna leabella Thackeray.
With a vacillating man I never had
any patience. If Esau chose to be \
foolish and sell his birthright. |
I like him to do it with a dash and
a spirit, and a will of his own; not to
stand shilly-shallying between the two;
hankering after the one, yet wondering
whether the other is not the better. All
the flavor is gone out of his mess, and
like the dog of Esopian fame, he loses
both meats in that fathomless river,
where idle regrets lie buried, never to be
recalled.— Ouida.
Here is a man who possesses in perfec
tion that sure criterion of abilities, a
great power over the minds of his ac
quaintances; and in a high degree that
rare talent, the art of conciliation, with
out the aid of flattery. He is master of
one great advantage in conversation,
that of not only knowing what to say,
but exactly when to say it; in knowing
when to press a point, and when to for
bear. He has the air, manners, senti
ments of a gentleman, without any sac
rifice of his sincerity.— Hannah Moore.
Do 1 think men are strange beings? I
do, indeed. However, they regard the
position of women in another light than
they used to do; they are beginning to
approve and aid instead of ridiculing or
checking us in our efforts to be wise. I
must say, for my own part, whenever
I have been so happy as to share the con
versation of a really intellectual man I
have not felt that 1 was accounted a
superfluity.— Charlotte lironte.
When a man becomes only an elegant
piece of furniture in a women’s life, to be
dusted at times and admired at others,
it will be generally found that he en
dures the annoyance of neglected furni
ture—little more. The level that we
strike in the soul that touches us most
nearly is almost sure to be the high
water mark of our own.— E. S. Phelps.
It is hardly an argument against a
naan’s strength of character that he
should be apt to be mastered by love. A
man may be very firm in other matters,
and yet be under a sort of witchcry from
a woman. Who shall measure the sub
tlety of those touches which convey the
quality of the soul, and make a man's
passion for one woman differ from his
passion for another as the morning light
over valley, and river and mountain top
differs from light among Chinese lan
terns, and glass panels. Georye Eliot.
In a general way, some men are good
natured, easy, willing to be pleased. In
the intimacies of life, in the uncurtained
moments, they show themselves as they
are. There seems nothing fixed, noth
ing vital in the feelings of women for
each other; their mutual attachments
are only pretty bands of ribbon. Can 1
bear to reflect that you mon can guard
your hearts and we women can not?—
Euyenie De Guerin.
It is said that Prof. Dexter, of Yale
College, remembers the face and name
of every graduate of that institution for
the last twenty years who was known
personally to him when in college.
